Wake Up Call

mpan1's picture

Upon reading Collapse of Western Civilization I am more fearful for our nation. Despite knowing that we have these problems we can’t solve them. There are many errors that attribute to these points but there are no short term solutions for goals. The issue is too large. Even when broken up into different problems its harder to find a solution. Also, countries continue to emit harmful emissions into the environment despite promising and being part of an agreement to limit that substance. Earning a profit is the priority. Many countries are so absorbed with money and the world will end because of that. Reading the effects in the future is a wake up call but at the same time these events are inevitable because it is so hard for people and businesses to change their ways.
